Bug.

I am running a "standard" 1.3.1 system (no hamm...or cheese either)

Both finger and finger @localhost provide the same, correct, output,
listing everyone logged into my system.

I suspect that this is a problem with unstable. Can't say exactly what,
but downgrading things until it works should help to provide a pointer to
the problem.

Luck,

Dwarf
